June 25-27, 2008 Charlotte, North Carolina
Plan now to attend the 2008 SGA Environmental Round Table June 25-27 in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is an ideal venue for environmental professionals to meet in an informal setting to talk about topics you are dealing with on a daily basis and hear updates from industry experts on regulatory issues and current projects.
The SGA Safety Health, Training Professionals, and HR Round Tables will also be held during the Conference. This gives you an opportunity to network with other people who are involved in the industry and may be indirectly involved with environmental issues in the safety or training areas.; And you can see people from your own company whom you might not have a chance to see otherwise.
CLICK HERE FOR THE AGENDA.
During the OPENING GENERAL SESSION SGA Service Awards, SGA Meritorious Awards for Lifesaving Efforts and the SGA Environmental Excellence Awards will be presented. The year's KEYNOTE SPEAKER is Mike Mullane, retired NASA Astronaut. As a professional speaker, COlonel Mullane has thrilled tens of thousands of adults and a half million children with his inspirational motivational and humorous descriptions of the astronaut experience.
Keep Thursday evening open for the traditional Conference dinner and entertainment sponsored by R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, ENSR and Natural Resource Group. Families are also invited to attend this annual party.
ROUND TABLE BREAKOUT SESSIONS will focus on specific environmental topics. Three tracks focusing on air, water/waste management, and construction will run concurrently Thursday. Your input for discussion is a must. SGA's round tables are informal gatherings that allow easy adaptation to its members needs.
An EXHIBIT of environmental, safety, and training products and services that relate specifically to the natural gas industry is an added bonus to the Conference. You'll have ample opportunity to view new technology and visit with vendors in a relaxed atmosphere. Again this year, Natural Resource Group will sponsor their popular CYBER CAFE outside the exhibit hall so attendees can check their email quickly and easily.
